T20 World Cup: Shivam Dube—a gladiator with a bat in his hands

Shivam Dube’s role is probably India’s first true specialist in T20 cricket, someone whose primary job is to dismantle spinners in the middle overs.

He has worked tirelessly on his bowling and has also fixed his issues against short-pitched deliveries.
